Sampeng Lane for Quilting Cotton

#277 Sampeng Lane, Fabric House, features some new lines of fabric. They have 100% Cotton Colors by Palette Pleasure, at 99 baht per meter, and Creative Fabrics Designed by Freedom House UK, in a cute ‘crayons’ print at 99 baht per meter. They have novelty prints with cats, owls, and animals. A pack of low loft batting suitable for table runners is 75 baht and contains 1 yard. They have quilted cotton at 210 baht per meter, and also cotton spandex in bright colors at 210 baht per meter.

#150 Sampeng Lane, Chuan Hua. They have cotton fabric at 3 meters for 100 baht, 4 meters for 100 baht, and 40 baht per meter. I saw some cute fabric in a glasses and mustache print, and the same Hawaiian prints they’ve always had with an occasional Jinny Beyer leftover from before. There are some misprints which are great for art quilts because they are unique.

#146 Sampeng Lane, Eung Hang Kim. This is a notions shop where you can pick and choose threads in different colors, and they give you an empty box to fill. A box of 12 spools of Venus polyester thread is great for sewing quilts, at 140 baht.

Kimono House on the corner of Yaowarat and Maha Chai Roads, diagonally across the street from Starbucks, has fabric priced at 120 baht per meter, or 110 baht per yard. This is the place to find a wide variety of quilt fabric. The lines of fabric include Carnival by Jinny Beyer, Kona Bay Fabrics, RJR Clover Collection, XOXO Collection, Fall 2014 Collection, Kaufman Dari Design Studio, Patrick Lose suds, stars and argyle, and French General for Moda. It’s really fabulous!

Another view of Kimono House on the corner of Yaowarat and Maha Chai Roads, diagonally across the street from Starbucks, with fabric at 69 baht per yard. This shop is just about overflowing with quilting cotton. There is lots more than there used to be.

#258 Sampeng Lane, Belleboo. They have novelty cotton prints with the Eiffel Tower, florals, cars, elephants, and lots of stripes and polka dots. All at 89 baht per meter.

Hi Jill, I pan on a day trip for fabric hunting in Bangkok. Would it be ok to go on a saturday? I will only be in Bangkok for a couple of days! Probably will hire a driver for the day so we could visit to most of the places in one go.

Hi Jill,
Great blog. Thank for sharing.
I need to buy single jersey printed. About 100 meters per colour or print.
Where is the best place to go? Hoping to 1st of April. Would literally appreciate your advise! Thanks

Hello Jill I live in Dubai and am visiting Bangkok soon. Would you advise I buy sewing machine trolley from there as it is very expensive here and not available in India. Thanks a ton for your other insights.

Hi Jill, we are moving to East Pattaya this Summer. I stumbled upon your site and it has given me hope to find sewing supplies and fabrics in Thailand 🙂 Are you only familiar with fabric shops in Bangkok? Is there a sewing community I could connect with?

The Pattaya International Ladies Club used to have a quilting group but people come and go so they may not have that now. Anyway it’s a good group to join and connect with. http://www.pilc-pattaya.com/

Hello Jill- I hope this isn’t off topic, but my daughter (19) is teaching in Saraburi and will be coming into Bangkok this weekend to fabric shop for school costumes – specifically lightweight Scottish looking plaid tartan for the Christmas International plays. Any chance you could point us in the right direction. I’m stuck stateside giving yardage/metorage advice

Hi, does anyone looking at this site happen to know the names of the two shops across the street from terminal 21 mall at asok BTS? There is a nice fabric shop on that corner, and a small but decently stocked notions shop around the corner.

Hi, Jill,
I’m a longarm quilter in St George, UT. One of my customers asked if I would continue to quilt for her if she mailed her quilts. Needless to say, that would be crazy expensive for her.
I googled, thinking there might be quilters in Thailand – and here I am!
Do you know of anyone with a quilting business I could refer my friend/customer to? Anywhere in theFar East would be closer then me! 🙂
Thank you!
PS: Great site! Wish I had a trip to Thailand coming up. Maybe I could deduct it as a business expense. 😉

There aren’t any machine quilting businesses in Thailand. That’s why we learned to machine quilt our own quilts here, out of necessity. If you’re interested in getting some hand quilting done, you can contact me through these comments. It would involve mailing your quilt to Rayong, Thailand, to Khun Tiew and Our Home quilters. Thanks!

I am looking for some factories that can produce 2000-3000 quilts/day. We have already had designs and all the work that factories have to do is priting our designs into Quilts.
Can you recommend me some factories that have large capacity and can offer us a competitive price?

Hi Jill, thanks for the updated information. I went looking on our last visit to Bangkok, and was amazed at what is available at what prices, and just didn’t have room in my suitcase for any more. I found some wonderful bargains. I will be back later this year in September, and will be checking out some of these wonderful places. Quilting fabrics in Australia are so expensive, and these are a great find.
